ORNAMENT FOR LAMPQSH'ADES.

S-EPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 344,959, dated July 6, 188,6.

Application filed May 1856. Serial No. 201,267.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES D. GRIsWoLD, of Brooklyn, Kings county, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Ornaments for Lamp-Shades, of which the following is a specification.

My improvement relates to the decoration of lamp-shades.

I will describe in detail a shade embodying myimprovement, and then point out the novel features in the claims.

The accompanying drawing is a side view of the lamp-shade and ornaments embodying my improvement.

A designates the lamp-shade. as of curved outline, but may be of any desired form.

B designates a series of ornaments, which form what I term a cuirass These ornaments may be made of metal or analogous material, and may be combined with glass or other ornaments, a, if desirable. They may be of any desired number and shape, and are disposed about and are supported by the shade.

The ornaments are shown as secured together. They are so secured at their side edges by means of tongues b upon one of the side edges It is shown (No model.)

of the ornaments which enter suitable openings, c, in the side edge of the adjacent ornament, and are then secured by being bent or pressed down. The ornaments are not intended to be secured together or about the shade until the latter is erected. They may be therefore very closely packed for shipment, and are very readily placed in position when required.

Shades decorated with ornaments in the manner described present a very ornate appearance, and their cheapness and ready mode of attachment make them very desirable.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A cuirass for lamp-shades,consisting of a continuons ring of separate metallic sections united at their side edges, substantially as described.

2. A cuirass for lamp-shades,consisting of a continuous ring of separate metallic sections detachably united at their side edges, substantially as described.
